Al-Amiri: International Cooperation to Mitigate Climate Change Effects

Kuwait affirmed the importance of respecting the sovereignty of states and taking their national practices into account when codifying and progressively developing international law rules, emphasizing the need to base such efforts on a thorough analysis of international practices and relevant legal evidence, thereby enhancing legal certainty and the rule of law at the international level. This was stated in Kuwait’s address, delivered by Second Secretary Jasem Al-Amiri of its Permanent Mission to the United Nations before the Sixth Committee of the UN General Assembly during the discussion of agenda item 78, entitled “Report of the International Law Commission on the work of its sixty-sixth and sixty-seventh sessions and its seventy-sixth and seventy-seventh sessions.” Al-Amiri expressed Kuwait’s appreciation for the efforts undertaken by the International Law Commission in the codification and progressive development of international law rules.
